About Aluminum Metal
About Aluminum Metal. Aluminum is a metallic element, with atomic number 13, a post-transition metal, member of group 13 of the periodic table. Aluminum is the most abundant metal in Earth’s crust, comprising 8.8% by weight. It is, however, rarely found in its free form, being present in over 270 minerals and ores. It was first isolated in 1824, followed in 1886 by the development of the first industrial production process, which is still widely used currently, the Hall-Héroult process. Aluminum is the third most commercialized metal worldwide, behind only iron and copper. This is explained by its ability to form alloys with remarkable low density in conjunction with high strength and corrosion resistance.

Recycling plays a crucial role in the Aluminum production chain, mitigating environmental impact and reducing the demand for primary aluminum production. As a highly recyclable material, aluminum exemplifies a sustainable approach within the broader context of the manufacturing ecosystem.
Aluminum Metal Handling. Since aluminum is produced in great quantity, it is usually shipped in railroad tank cars or by marine transportation. Transportation of molten Aluminum in special vessels by truck is a growing trend, since it is usually cheaper to transport it in this state, than it is to melt the solid metal again in factories. Due to its high electrical conductivity, all equipment used in storage or transportation should be grounded. Fine dust generation should also be prevented since it can form flammable or explosive mixture with air.
Aluminum Metal Production. Raw materials and the respective production processes employed in the manufacturing of Aluminum Metal are listed below.
- Alumina (Hall-Heroult electrolytical reduction process)
Aluminum Metal Uses. The uses and applications of Aluminum may vary according to its specification. The main forms of Aluminum are plates; rods; wire foil flakes; powder; and sheets.
